It's a wise idea to perform a termite inspection during pre-purchase for your new home to make sure you avoid any unnecessary termite damage. Before you complete any property purchase, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission will generally recommend you undertake both a termite inspection and a general building inspection. A termite inspection, at this stage, focuses on the accessible areas of the property, performing a visual investigation to determine if there is evidence of active termites or termite damage. If there have been termite management systems previously installed in the home, this inspection will provide information about these systems, including their maintenance routines and the risk of termite attacks in the locality. Thanks to their complicated nature, you can't perform these inspections yourself, and will need a licensed team of termite inspectors, like Conquer Termites Northside, to perform them. Carrying out a termite inspection during pre-purchase is an easy way to prevent some unnecessary termite damage to your new home.

Like most other things in life, termites are not created as adults, and must grow from infancy. How that life cycle transpires, however, is not common knowledge to most people. Understanding the life cycle of this pervasive pest is easy with Conquer Termites Northside and our local experts. If you're suffering from termites in Rocksberg, contact our team on (07) 3356 8801.

Termites undergo an 'incomplete metamorphosis' over the course of three distinct stages. These pests begin their lives as eggs, which are translucent and can be any colour from white to light brown. These eggs may be tiny, but the naked eye is capable of identifying them. The young workers of the colony care for the young that come from these eggs, which are called nymphs. To determine whether these nymphs develop into workers, soldiers, or other castes, the queen uses pheromones to control their development. As part of their incomplete metamorphosis, there are three phases in the development of a termite.

It's normal to think of termites as eating wooden supports buried in your walls and not much more. Whether or not termites will eat the rest of their walls, such as the plasterboard, remains a mystery to some people, however. Fortunately, it's a simple matter for our team of termite experts here at Conquer Termites Northside to explain exactly what is and isn't at risk within your home. When you're facing termites in Rocksberg, call our team on (07) 3356 8801.

If a material is made of cellulose, then termites will happily eat it. Since internal walls are commonly made of plasterboard, that makes them viable targets. Though the plaster panels themselves used to make drywalls don't contain cellulose, the paper it is wrapped in does, making the walls a valid target for these invasive pests. To make matters worse, if you let moisture build up on the walls of your home, you'll only be increasing the threat of a termite invasion. In the event of a termite infestation in your home, you might be able to track them by the pinholes they leave behind in your drywall, and if you have even the slightest suspicion, you should contact a professional team of termite inspectors to be sure. Due to their need to constantly consume cellulose, termites are constantly searching for a source of the substance, and will eat plasterboard if they can find it.
